For the second game in a row, the Teutopolis Wooden Shoes got off to a slow start.

And for the second game in a row, they didn’t let that bother them.

On Friday night, T-Town hit only 1-of-10 shots, scored just six points and trailed St. Anthony by six after the opening quarter. But they came back to win by 11.

It was a sluggish start again Saturday, this time falling behind by 10 points to Robinson.

But the Shoes came alive in the second period and dominated the rest of the way, finishing with a 62-46 win at home over the Maroons.

After eight minutes of play, the Shoes were on the short of a 22-12 score. They then went on a 22-6 run in the second quarter to take control, building a 34-28 edge at intermission. They continued their strong play in the second half, expanding the lead to double digits.

Caleb Siemer paced the Shoes with a game-high 20 points, while Max Niebrugge added 12. Siemer also pulled down a team-high six rebounds and Max Niebrugge dished out five assists.

The Shoes improved to 19-7 with the win. They will be back in action at home Tuesday, hosting Casey-Westfield.
